Pilot publishes its viscosity at roughly one fifth of conventional oil-based ballpoint ink, which is the mechanical reason the ball starts without the usual scratchy first stroke and the line reads darker on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0.7 mm oil-based ballpoint in black and red; 0.5 mm mechanical pencil\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSlide-lever selection for the ballpoints; a separate knob knock advances the pencil lead\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefillable with Pilot BRFS refills in 0.5 mm or 0.7 mm (black, red, blue; green in 0.7 mm only)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eColours: Silver, Gray, Deep Red, Blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne honest limit: Acro ink is quick-drying for an oil-based ink, not instant.

A 2 + 1 carries two ballpoint colours and one pencil; a 3 + 1 carries three ballpoint colours and one pencil. Dropping the third colour keeps the barrel thinner and the lever travel shorter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: How do you switch between black, red and the pencil?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Slide the lever on the barrel to the colour you want. It is a direct slide rather than a cycle, so you select the function you can see instead of clicking past the ones you don't want. The pencil is separate: press the knob at the top to advance 0.5 mm lead.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Which refill fits the Acro Drive 2 + 1?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pilot's BRFS oil-based refills, which Pilot lists for the 2 + 1 Evolt, 2 + 1 Acro Drive and Ridge bodies. They are made in 0.5 mm and 0.7 mm; black, red and blue come in both, green only in 0.7 mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQ: Is the Acro Drive the same pen as the Acroball?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA:\u003c\/strong\u003e Acroball is the family name for Pilot's low-viscosity oil-based line.
